Do you have any idea what this creature is. It looks like a chicken, or a quail, or a bob white, but no consistent features - and look at the length of those toes?

Thanks for any information you can provide. Betty ~Grand Rapids, MI

Hello, I'm sorry I've never encountered this bird before. It doesn't look like it has spurs on its feet or a long tail. That probably means it's a hen of some sort. It could be a young bird from several species including chicken, grouse, partridge or pheasant. I will post it on the blog and see if someone can identify the bird. Sarah.
